# ClaudSkills

> The open registry for Claude Code skills. 15,000+ community-contributed skills crawled from public GitHub repos, AI quality-scored, and ready to install. Free to browse and search. Pro tier ($9/mo) unlocks one-click installation, curated theme packs, and a weekly digest of new additions.

ClaudSkills is the largest open catalog of skills for Anthropic's Claude Code CLI agent and the broader Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK, Claude Desktop, MCP). A "skill" is a packaged set of instructions, tools, and context — distributed as a `SKILL.md` file with frontmatter — that gives Claude specialised capabilities for a domain (security audits, SEO analysis, sales prospecting, content generation, code review, infra automation, and 10 broad categories with 118 sub-categories).

Skills are continuously discovered by an automated miner (runs at 02:00 and 14:00 UTC daily) that crawls GitHub via code-search, awesome-list READMEs, the Topics API, web search, and standalone gist/raw-file fetches. Every skill is scored 0–100 for quality; only Tier A (≥70) lands in the public catalog. Each entry carries a category, sub-category, and orthogonal multi-valued tags (language, framework, cloud, tool, AI provider, type).
